Which one is for you

Pick Contactzilla if

  • Fits if your team needs one shared address book on everyone's phone
  • Works for companies that deploy contacts through a device management system

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want to track deals, as it is a contact book only
  • Tight if you have fewer than 10 devices, because that is the minimum
  • Watch out: scheduled imports cost $50 a month each and exports $99 a month each, on top of device fees
  • Watch out: plans over 2,000 devices are quoted individually

Pick Less Annoying CRM if

  • Fits if you're one person or a small team still running sales from a spreadsheet
  • Works for people who'd rather ring someone than read a help page, as phone support is included

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only the 30-day trial
  • Not for you if you want a phone app, since it runs in the browser only
  • Too light for big databases, with the vendor suggesting about 50,000 contacts and companies at most
  • Too light for teams that want automation, email campaigns or quotes, which it leaves out
  • Watch out: paying yearly brings no discount, and tax is added on top of the $15

How we grade them

2.0GPAContactzillaFair2.4GPALess Annoying CRMFair
Value for money
C$1.79 per device a month billed yearly, with a 10-device minimum, so the floor is about $18 a month, between the $15 cheaper quarter and $25 middle of CRM tools.
C$15 a user a month sits in the ordinary middle of this category, below the $24 average start but above the cheapest quarter. The shape of it: one plan, every feature, unlimited contacts and pipelines, 25 GB each. No discount for paying yearly, and the vendor says it gives none.
Free plan and trial
CA 14-day free trial with full access and no card needed. No free plan.
CNo free plan. The trial is 30 days with no feature limits and no credit card, but it's still a trial. After that it's $15 a user, month to month.
Features
DIt syncs and shares contacts, with labels, custom fields and import and export. The pricing page lists no deal pipeline or sales tracking, so it is one narrow function.
CContact pages with notes, files and logged emails, unlimited pipelines, follow-up tasks, a morning agenda email, forms and reports. It does that smaller job on purpose: no automation, no campaigns, no quoting, and the vendor suggests staying under about 50,000 contacts and companies.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. Device deployment through MDM and connecting a directory take setup.
BNo rating on record. It's a browser app with nothing to install and one plan, so there are no features to compare, and phone and email support come with it if you get stuck.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb, iOS and Android, with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Microsoft 365 and Mailchimp connections.
BIt runs in a browser on any device and no native apps are listed, so there's nothing on your phone's home screen. It syncs Google and Outlook calendars, logs email from Google, Microsoft or IMAP, connects to Mailchimp and Zapier, and has an API.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
